Work History

Sr. Logistics Manager

Quest Diagnostics
06.2020 - Current
  • Spearheaded the establishment of operations for the logistics division in Oklahoma City, starting from scratch. This involved designing optimal locations, carefully selecting and hiring competent staff, and ultimately creating a flagship facility that set the benchmark for performance in the district, achieving outstanding metrics.
  • As a part of this endeavor, I handpicked, hired, and trained every employee to serve the Oklahoma market. We successfully transitioned from relying on three separate third-party vendors to insourcing 100% of routes, with Quest employees taking charge. This resulted in exceptional employee satisfaction, as reflected in the region's top scores in Glint surveys.
  • Led a highly successful route optimization project that resulted in substantial cost savings. Through strategic planning and implementation, we were able to identify and eliminate inefficiencies, resulting in an annual cost reduction of over $800,000. This initiative not only improved our bottom line but also streamlined our operations, making them more efficient and effective.
